When Laura and Kate of Rodarte mentioned a birthday gift in an email I didn't know what to expect. They're awesome crazy.I mean GEEZ, the Star Wars stickers and Quentin Blake card and pink ribbon would've been enough!

Best birthday present ever. EVER. It's all downhill from here. It really is.It's super super delicate.. I think I can only wear it if I go to FW. Or meet Rei.

Oh, there she is.

Seriously though, can I completely lose it now?!?!SIJR3478TYHUWESKDNJGVSWHE87TRGSNJKT4YU73A56857YUEISGHSDKJERAY5E6Y54897358YEGSRJKSDTGWRSGSBSF

Look! I'm your crazy drunk uncle at your cousin's wedding! "YOU KNOW, OF ALL THE PEOPLE I'VE EVER KNOWN, LISA IS PROBABLY THE LAST I'D THINK WOULD GET MARRIED. I MEAN, LOOK AT HER! HER MOM AND I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HER NOSE, HOW MAYBE WE COULD PAY FOR HER TO GET IT DONE. AND HER TEETH, TOO. SHE'S NOT THE MOST LADY-LIKE LADY, EITHER. I REMEMBER WHEN YOUNG LISA WAS JUST A TODDLER, AND ASKED, 'DAD? CAN I KILL MOM AND MARRY YOU?' AND WHEN SHE POOPED HER PANTS AT COLLEGE GRADUATION, AND HAD TO ASK THE GUY NEXT TO HER TO GET UP TO GET HER DIPLOMA FOR HER. AND WHEN SHE GOT SO MAD WHILE WE WERE ALL OUT TO EAT THAT SHE THREW UP ON HER SISTER! AND HERE SHE IS GETTING MARRIED! I MEAN, TALK ABOUT A CHANGE OF SCENERY, HUH? AM I RIGHT? NOW WHO WANTS TO DANCE WITH PAPA?"

These pictures do it NO justice. None. I tried doing detail shots but then remembered they have an epic website with better pictures taken with a 543295834 pixel camera. So go chk it like the people in the Check Into Banking commercial (anyone? bueller?) while I try to remember what I did ever that made me deserve this. Checking...yeah, I AM UNWORTHY.

OH man. I don't even KNOW, GUYZ. This is too crazy! But the perfect thing to come home to after a schooly day at school. More than perfect. Sweet jesus.BRB, CRYING OF HAPPINESS.

What a crazy day.. I love it. The spine in back, the colors, all the textures... I can't even talk about it. Agh!Time to TRY to sleep.xx

you are indeed worthy of such a wonderful birthday present! you run of the best blogs on the interweb and you're only thirteen! THIRTEEN! at thirteen i was probably still colouring outside the lines and had barbie as my style idol...yeah...so congrats and happy belated birthday!

I always think the best birthday presents are the things we wouldn't think to get for ourselves. In this case, it's the thing we wouldn't even *dream* of getting. What a fantastic gift. Couldn't go to a better girl (or is it woman now that the bm is coming?).

Sidenote: I'm sad to see that you cleaned out your Twitter followers (I was one), but it's perfectly understandable.

AHH Tavi that is such an incredible present and again, echoing many people above, a well fitting (oh yes puns) and deserved gift. Plus it's already obvious you are going to where it so awesomely. Happy belated thirteenth!

seriously.. You are so adoreable!i'm a twenty year old girl from norway who loves your style! you are no rookie at all, you are the new it-girl! We all love you here in polarbear-land! keep it up! Lots of love!

This post just sums up everything that is awesome in the world. Awesome designers making awesome things giving them to awesome girls who get awesomely excited about it. No pretention, no hoity toity-ness, just awesomeness.

Happy B day Tavi!Ahaha, you know what? i'm a student at central st martins in london, i'm studying Fashion communication and journalism, and a few days ago, i talked about your blog in front of my class, saying" shit, there is a girl on internet, she s so young, and she's better than us all! More creative, more cool, more cutting edge, more everything! and we are fucking ten years older than her, and we don't even have her level of fashion culture!"Well, i'm sure you will get the coolest job ever when you will be older! I also have a blog named "the newspaper of bad taste" ( i'm obsessed with bad taste becoming good taste), so if you have time to check :http://lagazettedumauvaisgout.blogspot.com/
